New construction or renovation

1.Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 3 feet (or 0.9m) away from combustible materials such as curtains or drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.

2.Place the unit in selected location to see how it will look in the future.

3.Mark the desired location on the floor and store unit in a safe, dry and dust free loca- tion.

4.Frame in an opening leaving at least 1/4" (6mm) around the edge of the unit. Any new wiring must be done in compliance with local and national codes and other applicable regula- tions in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other injuries. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you hire a professional to complete any such work.
